Is there a FileSystem framework without AI features? (programming.dev)

While getting quotes for a site recently the question of filesystem came up a lot and I admittedly didn't know much on the subject.

Doing some research the popular choices appear to be either PHP frameworks or less often ASP.NET frameworks.

Among popular PHP frameworks I see Laravel come up a lot, open source is certainly more reliable than something maintained by Google, Facebook, or Amazon but currently the Laravel maintainers are pushing AI really really hard.

So is the only real solution to learn to program with PHP without using any frameworks or libraries? Can anybody who has implemented a secure fileserver for a website tell me how difficult or easy it would be to learn?

A CDN is not a programming language library

You think they were just magicked into existence? Nah, they were programmed, and you can use specific syntax to call upon their functions.

    What, praytell, is this supposed syntax? A curl invocation? Including a link to a CDN resource in an HTML <script> tag?

    A URL on the web is not what anyone would call a framework, I'm sorry to say. Is www.google.com a framework? Google programmed the server serving the content at that URL, right? Or what, is it only special URLs that only programmers use? Is your operating system a "framework"? Someone programmed that too, right? How about your coffee maker? That's also something someone programmed.

    It's funny how the wikipedia article on CDNs doesn't mention the word "framework" once, yet the article on a real framework like React mentions the word 8 times and links to other frameworks and lists of frameworks.

    Maybe, just maybe, it has a more narrow definition than "someone programmed it so you don't have to".
